Date format

Why does the article use mdy dates? Dmy dates would be normal for European countries, wouldn’t it? Schwede 66 17:05, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

:Agree with changing to DMY dates. None of these countries use MDY dates, and it makes little sense to format the article in such a way. Ark Hyena (it/its) 07:13, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

:The creator of the article is American hence the MDY format than the DMY. I'm fine with the changing the format, if you want to. Rager7 (talk) 13:59, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

:None of these countries is English speaking, so their usage is not relevant.--User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 17:08, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

::This wiki is for the benefit of all English speakers, not just Americans. About 60% of Croats speak English to some degree of competence, and are therefore the audience of enwiki, and given that the topic is strongly linked to them and other Southerneastern Europeans, their usage should be taken into the account. Melmann 18:12, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

:::Not according to MOS:TIES. Your position is as ridiculous as saying that I, an American, should set standards on the Croatian wiki.--User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 21:09, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

::::If you speak Croatian or otherwise use the Croatian wiki then yes, your needs should be accounted for as you're one of the users of the Croatian wiki. Melmann 10:19, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

:::::My needs would be best met by having standards set by the native speakers. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 12:18, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

::::::Ok, I'll change this to dmy, as that appears to be the majority view. Schwede 66 23:59, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Map colour scheme

The colour scheme of the map is hardly readable and could present inaccessibility issues. I suggest it’s changed in some way to improve readability ChairStimBulgaria (talk) 10:02, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Name Change

This should be renamed to 2025 Eastern European retail boycotts now that Czechia and Slovakia are both affected 2.28.107.151 (talk) 13:07, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

:~~So do you mind if I move the page to change the title?~~ Never mind, the title already changed. Rager7 (talk) 15:55, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

:I oppose the name, and have thus reverted the move, as it was an undiscussed move. Melmann 16:30, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

:It should be renamed Central and Southeast Europe retail boycotts, as Hungary and Slovenia are both in Central Europe, and as soon as boycotts start in Czechia and Slovakia, that will bring the number of countries in Central Europe to four. NoWikiNoLife (talk) 18:15, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Boycott in Slovenia?

Are there any more references for the boycott in Slovenia? I could only find the one listed as [76], which cites another article, but I couldn't find any other source that would tell if they boycott was actually held? Ashune (talk) 10:54, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

:The boycotts have been a lot more small scale [https://www.euractiv.com/section/agriculture-food/news/wave-of-discontent-over-food-prices-spreads-through-eastern-europe/], but they have occurred @Ashune. — Knightoftheswords 17:14, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

:@Ashune Yes, they had albeit not bigger than the main boycotts. Rager7 (talk) 17:18, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks!--Ashune (talk) 06:58, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

:2025 Southeast Europe retail boycotts → {{no redirect|2025 European retail boycotts}} – The current title is still wrong; Czechia, Hungary, Slovakia & Slovenia are all in Central Europe, not Eastern Europe. 56Steve (talk) 19:24, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

:Oppose - Eastern Europe and Central Europe are broad terms; the boycotts are predominantly occurring in Eastern parts of the continent. All sources use Balkans, Southeastern Europe, or Eastern Europe at the most. Searching up "Europe boycotts" on Google won't give results for this boycott, mostly stuff regarding Tesla and the tariffs. In fact, given that a common theme with these boycotts are how people are accusing retail chains of pricing their products higher in the east than in Western Europe, I'd say the "eastern" bit is very important and critical to the story. I'm not opposed to changing it to European boycotts if it expands further west however. — Knightoftheswords 20:42, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

::How about 2025 Central & Eastern European retail boycotts? Four of the affected countries aren't in EE. 56Steve (talk) 20:46, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

:::I think that's a better proposal. Rager7 (talk) 20:52, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

:Oppose - The proposed name is too broad to the point of inaccuracy. I would support 'Southeast & Central Europe retail boycott'; the year can stay or go, I'm ambivalent on it. Melmann 16:36, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

:Oppose, per others. The countries listed by the nominator are still geographically adjacent to Southeastern Europe. I would weakly support a change to Southeast and Central European retail boycotts, though it would be a pretty unwieldy title over what is, in my opinion, a relatively minor geographical technicality.

The article should be renamed

The article should be renamed to "2025 European retail boycotts" as a major boycott has also started in Sweden, which is not a part of Southeastern, Eastern or Central Europe. MaxPlays (talk) 08:16, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Boycotts in Turkey

Since 2nd of April, Turkey is also boycotting. 2A02:8428:8033:1E01:15C1:6D37:4A58:1144 (talk) 10:56, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

:The boycotts in Turkey seem to have been part of protests against the imprisonment of the opposition leader rather than in reaction to rising retail prices (although I don't doubt Turkey is suffering from similar increases as well). Mooonswimmer 08:05, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

Current status of boycotts

It appears that many of the boycotts may no longer be ongoing, or at least no recent sources confirm continued activity. It might be time to update accordingly. If anyone has newer sources, please share. Mooonswimmer 08:07, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
